Westminster continued its dominance of Class AA boys cross country with yet another championship at the GHSA state meet Saturday in Carrollton.

With 39 points, the Wildcats edged out Region 6AA rival Wesleyan (47) to win their sixth consecutive state crown. They have won the AA championship four years in a row and captured the AAA crown in 2007.

Jordan Flowers led the way for Westminster with a fourth-place individual finish and a time of 17 minutes, 49.90 seconds.

Also earning top-10 individual places for the Wildcats were Graham Huff, who finished seventh at 17:56.35 and eighth-place Harry O’Connor (17:59.19).

“Like everyone else [Saturday], I wish we could have run faster times,” Westminster boys coach Joe Tribble said. “But, what has often been said about being able to rise to the challenge of the moment — doing what you have to do — well, I believe they did that. Again, we are thankful for it. They had to race man to man and were able to do just that. All credit to a magnificent seven in my book. They never gave up all season, even when the chips were way down.”

Meanwhile, the Westminster girls saw their AA state title streak come to an end at three as the Lady Wildcats scored 41 points to place runner-up behind champion Wesleyan (31).

Westminster also lost its hold on the AA individual crown as three-time defending individual title holder Sahara Fletcher dropped out halfway through the race due to illness.
